  • “Dr. Butler is an example of what a good doctor is. His bedside manner and and caring spirit are outstanding. He took great care of me and let my wife know all the was going on the day of the surgery. He made her at ease and the whole process was exceptional. Clark is a great Christian man and he is someone i am proud to call my friend.”

  • “I just wanted to thank you for the shoulder cuff repair. I must say the recovery period was at times endless it was all worth the wait. Although my golf game has not improved I am pain free and the shoulder is GREAT!! Please forward my thanks to Dr Feathers also for his diagnosis.”

  • “I'm so grateful for Dr. Leak and his assistant! I was very worried about the healing process. They took a lot of time to explain what was going on and I feel great. Thank you all!”

  • “Dr. Leak is absolutely amazing! My daughter has been a patient of his since she was 3 days old! She is now 10! Between him and his nurse April they are a dynamic duo! I would refer ANY AND EVERYONE to him! He is not afraid to seek additional advice before performing major surgeries! They definitely are family!”

  • “I fell and completely broke my elbow.....watched my arm fall when I held it up. I wanted to be careful as to who did this repair. In the past I had good experiences with Strand Orthopedics with Dr. Ward repairing my rotator cuff and Dr. Pappas removing a neuroma so I returned to that group. I was seen quickly and received excellent care. I have several friends who are doctors and looking at the Xrays were very impressed with the quality of surgery Dr. Leak performed. Dr. Leak is also a very pleasant man who took the time to answer all my questions with humor as well. I would highly recommend him for any hand or arm issues you may have. In fact from my experiences with Strand Orthopedics, I could not imagine going anywhere else!!”

  • “I met Dr. Leak for the first time when I broke my wrist in 2015. He was wonderful and the scar is so thin it is barely noticeable. In November 2016 I Fractured my Ulna Forearm and once again returned to Dr Leak I wouldn't think of having anyone else treat me. He is a great Doctor and has an amazing sense of humor. I recently moved from Myrtle beach but if I ever have any problems with my bones I will definitely return to my favorite Doctor. God bless you Dr. Leak an thank you so much for taking care of me.”

  • “I was referred to Dr. Merritt via Grand Strand ER. He did not know me, all he he knew was what the X-Rays showed him. He is a kind considerate man, understood the pain I was in and did his best to get me into surgery as quickly as he could. Unfortunately for me, I have to have the wires in my knee replaced. This is by no reflection on Dr. Merritt, trust me...if something is going to go wrong it will be me! Thank You for your skills as a surgeon and for being one of the good guys.”
